From Prisoner to Si Chen

December 9, 1928.

It has been more than half a month since Jilan settled on the Blood Sea Island.

As winter came, the temperature dropped rapidly and the weather became colder. The green plants on the island withered in just twenty days and turned into a wasteland.

Snowflakes fell from the hazy sky, covering the originally black island with a layer of silver and white clothes, as if washing the world and making it clean.

On the cliff on the south side of the island, there is a natural cave, not big, but equivalent to the size of a living room in an ordinary apartment, nearly ten meters deep and about three or four meters high.

At this moment, there is a fire inside.

A girl in a white dress with pigtails is sitting on the ground around a campfire, with a metal kettle on the fire, the tea inside is boiling, emitting thick hot steam, and making a gurgling sound.

The girl bent her knees and hugged her chin on her knees, staring at the fire in a daze.

Click.

Suddenly, there was a slight noise at the entrance of the cave.

A young man in a black dress and a short hat walked slowly towards them.

"You're back. How did you get this time?"

Seeing the young man approaching, the girl raised her head, smiled sweetly, and asked softly.

The voice echoed in the cave, sounding ethereal.

"Not bad. The 'Nightmare Monuments' within a radius of ten kilometers have basically been cleared."

Jilan took off his hat and smiled.

Looking at the girl curled up by the campfire, he couldn't help but ask again:

"Tolina, are you cold?"

"No." The girl shook her head slowly. "Just looking at the snowy scenery outside, I always feel that it would be more comfortable to get closer to the campfire..."

Jilan was silent.

He knew that Tolina was afraid of the dark and cold since she was a child because of the defects of the law. Even if it was now completed, it had almost become her instinctive reaction.

At this time, Tolina blinked again and whispered:

"Besides, I can't feel the warmth when you are not around..."

Hearing this, Jilan chuckled.

He walked over, sat next to the girl, then stretched out his arms and hugged her directly in his arms. Tolina did not resist, but leaned over very obediently, like a soft kitten, squinting her eyes with great enjoyment.

"Want to sleep for a while?"

Jilan whispered softly.

Tolina hummed softly and breathed evenly.

In this world, everything dreams, and Si Chen is no exception. After all, this is due to the influence of the "crazy dream" of the outer god.

So even if Tolina walks in the world with the other body, she can still fall asleep... Although she can stay awake all the time, in this situation, Tolina prefers to lie in the arms of her beloved and have a good rest.

This has almost become a tacit understanding between the two.

Whenever Gillan returned from the seabed, Tolina would sleep in his arms, hugging each other tightly, feeling the beauty of the quiet.

The bonfire crackled and the tea bubbled.

Gillan silently hugged the girl, his facial features illuminated by the firelight, and he said in his heart:

'Panel. '

Soon, a colorful box appeared in front of him, with rows of data listed on it.

Among them, the column about "mysterious points" has now become:

"5398370."

More than five million!

Another new high!

Most of them are his gains in the past half month.

Looking at the long list of numbers, Gillan couldn't help but smile, looking very satisfied.

With these mysterious points, his plan to become stronger can proceed smoothly.

Gillan glanced up and saw that column:

"Ripple energy: 10780."

A gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes.

This value has reached the standard of contacting the 8th-level essence!

During this half month, in addition to going to the seabed to corrupt and devour those "nightmare monuments" every day, he would also take time to "upgrade" to the God's Land to practice ripple energy for one to two hours.

After devouring the crown of "Triangle Sir" Pablo, Gillan's "string of law" was strengthened, and each vibration could release more and denser ripples, which directly improved the efficiency of his practice.

So in half a month, he completed the journey that ordinary ascenders would take more than ten years, or even dozens or hundreds of years.

Of course, there is another key reason for this.

That is, Gillan would have in-depth exchanges with Tolina every night about his practice experience... It is difficult to slow down the accumulation of ripple energy when contacting Sichen at a negative distance.

Therefore, during this period of time, not only Tolina lived a very "fulfilling" life, but Gillan also lived a very "nourishing" life.

‘The miasma in the air has become lighter again…’

Jilan opened his spiritual vision and observed the cave and the environment outside. The yellow-brown mist floating in the air that mortals could not see was a little thinner than when he came.

This further confirmed his guess.

The “dream of the lost worms” mentioned by the “Sleeping Master” was composed of the miasma emitted by the remains of the “Goddess of Love” Alice!

As long as Jilan worked tirelessly, sooner or later, he would be able to completely clean up the miasma in this world, thereby dispelling the “dream of the lost worms” and returning the world to its original state.

By then, the prerequisite for the “intercalary ceremony” would be met.

‘Although I have cleaned up the “nightmare monuments” within a radius of ten kilometers nearby, the “black wall” on the seabed is hundreds of kilometers long, and the current progress is less than one-tenth. ’

Jilan thought to himself and sighed secretly.

At this efficiency, it would take at least a year to completely eradicate all the “nightmare monuments”.

This is actually not slow.

After all, with Jilan's physical fitness that exceeds the limits of the mortal world, his speed in the seabed is faster than any creature or even diving equipment.

'Banlan, start to deduce the 8th-level essence. '

Jilan muttered in his heart.

He once asked Tolina how to obtain the knowledge related to the 8th-level essence, but the answer he got disappointed him. Because generally speaking, the ascenders can only obtain it through the apostles they follow.

This is a kind of inheritance and also a kind of transaction.

Restricted by some kind of legal contract.

Although Tolina is a Sichen, she only has the knowledge of the essence of the spiral of the divine scepter and the road of August, which is far from allowing Jilan to replicate the feat of "collecting all".

So Jilan simply started to deduce from scratch.

Anyway, what he lacks the least now is the mysterious points.

Wow——

Jilan seemed to have a buzzing sound in his ears.

The subtle noises of the environment gradually faded away, and everything fell into silence.

He couldn't help but close his eyes and brainstormed according to the guidance of "Banlan".

The various essences of the "Path of Fire Sword" were like shining stars, circling in the darkness.

In the end, they intersected, collided, and burst into brilliant sparks... and condensed in the form of a vortex, forming a new and huge star.

I don't know how long it has been.

When Gilan opened his eyes again, he found that it was pitch black outside the cave. The bonfire in front of him had dimmed, and the water in the pot had boiled dry.

Looking down, Tolina was still lying in his arms and sleeping soundly. There was only the sound of waves outside the cave.

"Huh..." Gilan took a long breath, endured the pain in his brain, and murmured: "Finally, the deduction is over."

He opened the panel and found that the "mysterious points" had disappeared directly for a full two million.

And above the darkness in his mind, there was a dazzling and huge dazzling light ball.

Gilan felt it and couldn't help but feel happy.

'The 8th-level essence of the player's path! '

He said secretly.

Immediately, he could not wait to raise his consciousness and move closer to it until he could actually touch it.

Boom!!

In an instant, Jilan seemed to see countless golden ripples rippling and madly hitting the dazzling ball of light.

Soon, countless ripples slowly overlapped into one, surrounding the ball of light like a star ring.

Boom!!!

Another roar.

His brain was hit by a huge amount of information flow, and he was distracted for several minutes without reacting.

Until his consciousness returned, he was so surprised that he couldn't speak.

Through the information fed back by the new essence, Jilan mastered its name and its abilities.

"Patch."

This is the name of the essence.

And its abilities are the same as before, with three.

First, correct errors.

The target's behavior, whether offensive or defensive, or other, can be regarded as "errors".

Once this ability is activated, it can be forcibly corrected so that it can no longer do the behavior within a certain period of time.

However, this kind of "patch" that can be forced on the opponent has a limited number, which is affected by the target's mental strength... But generally speaking, when facing the same level, Jilan can at least give the opponent a dozen "patches".

'This ability is very similar to the field "Heart Tower Desperate Situation" that I opened with the Bubble Law. In the field, I can modify the rules of the game at will and force the opponent to abide by it...'

Jilan thought.

'But "correcting errors" is more intuitive and does not require the blessing of the law field. '

Second, backup separately.

After activating this ability, the target's state will be "backed up" once, and within a certain period of time thereafter, the target can be forced to return to its original state.

But the damage received will not disappear with the "backup".

"Huh?" Jilan made a surprised sound.

This ability is very similar to his 7th level "save and load", but unlike "save" which can only act on oneself, "backup separately" is for others.

Moreover, the injuries received will not be reset.

'Just like formatting a virus, forcibly removing the various gains of the target and returning it to its original state...'

Jilan understood.

This ability is quite unreasonable!

Imagine if the opponent is forced into a desperate situation and pays a huge price in exchange for a temporary increase in strength, but is beaten back to its original form under the effect of "separate backup", and the price still remains, it must be collapsed on the spot.

Third, eternal loophole.

This ability will force the target to have a behavioral flaw or weakness.

The description of the last ability is very concise, but Jilan saw a huge amount of information from it...

'Force a flaw? ! '

Jilan was stunned.

What a terrifying ability!

As the saying goes, the battle between masters is just a moment, not to mention the fight between superiors.

Even some minor flaws will be infinitely magnified and even become the key to the victory or defeat of a battle.

Especially between the same level, the competition is often not about who is stronger, but who makes more mistakes... because it is difficult to widen the gap between the strengths of both sides.

And Jilan's strength has already exceeded that of the 9th-level apostle. If the "eternal loophole" is effective again, how can the same level be his opponent?

Maybe, the moment the flaw appears, Jilan will kill him instantly!

At this time, he had a bold guess...

'With the "Law of Bubble Shadow" of "Sleeping Master", can I make Si Chen have a flaw? '

As soon as the thought came up, his heartbeat quickened.

But Jilan was not sure.

In the final analysis, even if his strength far exceeded that of ordinary apostles, his status was still not enough to be compared with Si Chen.

Moreover, even if he could make Si Chen show a flaw, Jilan might not be able to seize the opportunity and hurt him.

God is a god after all.

Let alone making him fall, it is extremely difficult to hurt him.

‘But I don’t have to take action... Si Chen’s opponent will be Si Chen, but once one side shows a flaw, it will fall into a huge disadvantage. ’

Jilan looked thoughtful.

He thought of the Si Chens in the two camps of "Crippled King" and "Blind General", and maybe sooner or later there will be a battle.

‘And "Eternal Vulnerability" is my only ability to intervene in the Supreme War. ’

Jilan took a deep breath and digested it silently.

On the panel, his essence has changed from the original "Cheat" to "Patch", and his status is still level 9.

He felt the changes in himself.

All six-dimensional attributes have been improved, and the increase is considerable. They have all increased by 100 points, and now they have reached "600".

'But this is far from over...'

Jilan grinned.

He then silently issued an order:

'Banlan, add points! '

The remaining more than 3 million mysterious points kept jumping and falling, and the six-dimensional attributes also rose wildly.

Until the full 2.4 million points were consumed, Jilan's panel doubled compared to before!

"Gilan Ilos (Mo Xing)."

"Male, 22 years old."

"Original level: 9th level."

"Original essence: cheating (original)."

"... (omitted)"

"Strength: 50 (1000)."

"Agility: 50 (1000)."

"Endurance: 50 (1000)."

"Genius: 50 (1000)."

"Spirituality: 50 (1000)."

"Mind: 50 (1000)."

"Ripple energy: 10780."

"Mystical points: 998370."

"Si Chen candidate (owner of the string of law, one-time enhancement)."

"Apostle (user of the law of bubbles)"

Looking at the brand new panel data, Gilan resisted the discomfort of his body.

He felt that his "demoted" body in the mortal world had reached a certain unprecedented limit and could not be raised any higher.

To make an extremely inappropriate analogy, it is like a giant cast in copper and iron, walking on glass as thin as a cicada's wing.

If it weren't for Jilan's control with the power of the original substance, he would have already stepped on the "glass". Any random move would destroy the space of the mortal world, causing huge cracks, thus triggering unstoppable mysterious disasters.

Jilan trembled all over.

He had a premonition that if he didn't deliberately suppress it, just walking through the streets of the capital Musciti, the footprints left behind would form a huge space turbulence, until it spread into an abyss and swallowed the entire city.

'No wonder the "God of Love" used the "Dream of the Lost Ascaris" to isolate the astral world and the material world. If the superior could descend the body at will, the mortal world would have turned into nothingness long ago! '

Jilan had concerns again.

'But once I dispel the "Dream of the Lost Ascaris", this world will lose its protection. '

'If a war of gods breaks out under such circumstances...'
